# Whitney

> Extracted from [https://whitney.org/](https://whitney.org/) on 2026-11-12 by Emblematic. Every value below was read from the rendered DOM (computed styles, `document.fonts`, and the fonts Chrome actually used to paint text), not estimated from pixels. When the YAML front matter and this prose disagree, the YAML wins. Copy values from this file exactly; don't transcribe them from memory. Don't copy logos, imagery, illustrations or marketing copy.

## Overview

Whitney uses a light canvas (#FFFFFF) with a monochrome palette. Type is set in **Haas Grotesk Sign** (display), **Haas Grotesk Text**, with 20px body text. Layout: 1344px container, none-detected navigation, 5 sections. Built with hotwire, google-tag-manager.

## Colors

Area-weighted from painted backgrounds, text and borders on the 1440px light capture. Roles are inferred from usage (largest background, most text, interactive fills). Every hex is an exact computed value; a role marked *unverified* is a best guess that has not passed review, so its canonical token (e.g. `primary`) is left out of the front matter.

| Token | Hex | OKLCH | Role | Share of paint | CSS variable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `background` | `#FFFFFF` | 1 0 0 | bg | 89.3% | `--color-background` |
| `on-surface` | `#000000` | 0 0 0 | text | 9.4% | `--color-text` |
| `on-surface-variant` | `#949494` | 0.667 0 0 | muted | 1.2% | `--color-headline--gray` |

Declared brand/accent tokens: `--admin-color-primary` = `#3C63FF` (declared, not painted on this page).

Contrast: text on background 21:1, muted text 3.03:1.

The site responds to `prefers-color-scheme: dark`; the `-dark` tokens hold the dark-mode roles.

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Haas Grotesk Sign** (CSS: `haas-grotesk-sign`) | display | 400 | 57.1% | webfont |
| **Haas Grotesk Text** (CSS: `haas-grotesk-text`) | body | 400 | 42.9% | webfont |

Declared in `@font-face` but not used to paint text on this page: Font Awesome 7 Free. Don't treat these as the page's fonts.

Scale (px): 0, 15, 20, 35, 65. Effective ratio ≈ 1.803. Body 20px at line-height 1.4; display 65px with tracking 0em. Headings are sentence case. On a 390px viewport the body is 18px and display 35px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 8px base unit; the most used steps are 8, 16, 32, 48px. Sections open with about 312px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1344px container on a 2-column grid. Text density 0.086 (text area / page area).

Section order (desktop). Kinds below the review threshold are shown as *section*:

1. **hero** (416px, bg #FFFFFF)
2. **section** — “Roy Lichtenstein: Like New” (3351px, bg #FFFFFF)
3. **section** (635px, bg #FFFFFF)
4. **testimonials** — “Dive Into Our Collection” (375px, bg #FFFFFF)
5. **footer** — “Mission & values” (522px, bg #FFFFFF)

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 0px; radii in use: pill. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Components

- **button-secondary**: textColor `#000000`, rounded `0px`, padding `8px 16px`, height `48px`, fontFamily `Haas Grotesk Text`, fontSize `15px`, fontWeight `400`, border `1px solid #000000` (e.g. “Learn more about the exhibitio”)
- **input**: rounded `0px`, height `64px`, padding `0px 16px`, backgroundColor `#FFFFFF`, border `1px solid #000000`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do keep the palette monochrome; there is no chromatic brand accent on the page.
- Do set body copy in Haas Grotesk Text at 20px / 1.4.
- Do use Haas Grotesk Sign only for display sizes, not for body text.
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400.
- Don't add drop shadows; depth comes from tone and borders.
- Do keep corners at 0px for most controls.
- Do snap spacing to multiples of 8px.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
